A post just for University Nottingham (UK, China and Malaysia) colleagues: what about a university professional services NOOC?
Following the success of the first NOOC (Nottingham Open Online Course) on Sustainability in, among other things, involving staff and students from the UK, China and Malaysia campuses in shared learning it occurred to me that it might be an idea to use a similar model to offer a course for staff in professional services.
A group of colleagues have had an initial discussion about what such a NOOC might look like and come up with a number of interesting ideas for subjects it could cover. However, before going any further I wanted to test some of these thoughts on colleagues.
What might a professional services NOOC look like?
If we did develop such a NOOC it would probably be similar in structure to the Sustainability NOOC (do have a look at it here) but would only be open to University of Nottingham staff in the UK, Malaysia and China.
The course would last perhaps 10 weeks and each week would provide a new activity through which key themes for Nottingham professional services would be explored.
So, thinking about such themes – could you select all from the list below which you think should be part of a professional services NOOC.

Would you be interested in taking such a course?
Would you think formal assessment for academic credit should be an option?
Could you imagine such a course forming part of your annual professional development and personal review (PDPR) or equivalent?
